Abstract

The enhancement in the mechanical characteristics of aluminum alloy is always an essential need for the development of industrial technologies. The work presented is focused on the development of Al6061 composite reinforced with granite particles using the stir casting technique at four different proportion rates such as 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% of granite particles. The developed composites were subjected to heat treatment as per T6 temperature conditions for different aging time durations (1 to 9 h). The mechanical characteristics such as hardness, ultimate tensile strength, and yield strength analysis are performed for both the casted and heat-treated granite reinforced aluminum specimens. Deer hunting optimization (DHO) is used to optimize the better-reinforced aluminum alloy from the heat-treated and heat untreated specimens. Besides, the hybrid deep neural network (DNN) is used to predict the experimented mechanical characteristics and compared with other similar predicted neural networks. Such optimization and prediction behavior are performed in Matlab software. From the experimentation, the hardness is better for heat-treated Al6061 reinforced with 8% of granite particles, besides the yield and the ultimate tensile strength is optimal for 6% granite reinforced Al6061. The proposed DNN-DHO provides nearer values to the experimented mechanical characteristics with minimal error than the predicted outcomes of Particle swarm optimization (PSO) based DNN and DNN alone. The DNN-DHO predicted optimal mechanical characteristics are 68.45 BHN of hardness, 199.67 MPa of ultimate tensile strength, and 100.01 MPa of yield strength. From the overall findings, heat-treated Al6061 with 6% and 8% granite offers superior mechanical properties.
